Brothers, love is a teacher, but a hard one to obtain: learning to love is hard and we pay dearly for it. It takes hard work and a long apprenticeship, for it is not just for a moment that we must learn to love, but forever.
(Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov)

Re-entry

A quick one: Jude is doing very well. He's amazingly attached and happy, and is a delightful little boy. I'm worried about his medical condition, though, and would appreciate your prayers on his behalf. He is going to have to go to at least one and possibly more specialists at a hospital in another city.

Between all of this and some freelance translating/editing jobs I'm doing on deadline, blogging is going to be light for the next few weeks.

Praying for you! I am so glad that Jude is adjusting so incredibly well. I will pray that you see exactly the right specialists not only for their expertise but also for their personalities. It can make a difference in the experience.

While our prayers for you have a focus on thanksgiving these days, we will certainly keep praying for your needs too! Thanks for the update. It is just so good to know Jude is with his family while dealing with any medical or other problems he may have.

Many congratulations to you! There is nothing like those first elated, jet-lagged, joyful, exhausted days as you get to know the real little person behind all those imaginings you had when staring at his photo!

I will pray for his health, and for specialists with lots of experience in Jude's particular area of need. And for a bit of reassurance: don't worry about the TB . . . our daughter tested positive too. It was a matter of taking medications and clearing it up. Today (four years later), she's healthy and well.Nancy
